According to The Military Times poll, 66 percent of service members are going to cast their vote for Romney, to just 26 percent for Obama.
No surprise here. The people who responded are Mr. Romney's key demographic. They may be representative of the "professional core" but they are not representative of the military overall.
From your link:
"This population is older and more senior than the military population at large, but it is representative of the professional core of the all-volunteer force.
The 3,100 respondents — roughly two-thirds active-duty and one-third reserve component members — are about 80 percent white and 91 percent male. Forty percent are in paygrades E-5 through E-8, while more than 35 percent are in paygrades O-3 through O-5."

More than one third are O-3 to O-5? (Translated to army ranks, that's Captain through Lieutenant Colonel.) I know the US Army is sometimes considered a bit top-heavy, but that's ridiculous.
You called me an Obamatron (very witty...good stuff, mean that). If you wanted to name-call, why not go with ******* or a similar childish moniker you gleaned from Fox?
Sure they served their nation voluntarily; this does not mean that they have no ulterior motives.
Ok
Folks, don't listen to the paid troll.

Not very good at truth or logic.

66% for Romney / 26% for Obama.
Spin it any way you please.....that's a pretty bad whoopin' in anyone else's book!!!!!
What a crook- Romney and Obama BOTH have joined the disconnected elite- and neither of these guys gives a damn about military people..or vets..give me a break..the rich and influential look at the military as the spawns of the old blue collar class- factory workers with guns. It is a class issue- Most hold the military in loathing and contempt....They do not respect the noble marshal class...They just use them and dispose of them when they are no longer of any use..This mentality has been in existence for centuries..Those high up..look at soldiers as common laborers.
